vided with a longitudinally extending slot 13 through which depends a cog wheel 14., carried by a spindle 15 which is rotatably secured in the bearing brackets 16, 17 upon the upper face of the platform 1. The spindle 15 projects from the bracket 17 and has attached thereto a series of radially disposed flags 18. The cog wheel 14 is fixed to To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, STEVE NAGY, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Delray, in the county of WVayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheel Toys, of which the following is a specification, re erence being had therein to the accompanyd i the inner end of the spindle 15 and project- This invention relates to wheel toys and iig from the inner end of the spindle is a crank shaft 19, which is connecte to and reciprocates an actuating bar 20. ecured to one side of the platform 1, is asupport 21 provided at its top with an anvil or representation of an anvil as indicated at 22. Arranged at each side of the support 21 are longitudinally extending members 23 between which extend miniature figures 24, 25 and by Way of example, each hereinafter set forth, a portable body provided with a plurality of miniature figures adapted to be operated when the body is propelled thereby afiording considerable amusement.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a wheel toy which is comparatively simple in its construction and arrangement,

has for its object to provide in a manner as j l strong, urable affording considerable of these figures is a representation of a amusement to a child when operated and blacksmith. Each of the figures is piv- 26 supported by the members 23 and the said members 23 are fixedly secured as at 27 to the support 21. The figure 24: is pivotally connected at its lower end to the bar 20, inwardly with respect to the rear end of said bar and the figure 25 is pivotally connected at its lower comparatively inexpensive to manufacture. lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be underend as at 29 to the forward end of said bar. stood that changes, variations and modifi- Each of the figures 24:, 25 is provided with cations can be resorted to which come witha pair of arms 30 and secured to each pair in the scope of the claims hereunto apof arms is the handle 31 of a sledge 32. The

figures are so arranged with respect to the anvil 22 and operated through the medium of the bar 20 as to cause the sledges 32 to alternately engage the anvil 22.

The cog wheel 14: is operated by a circular row of spaced pins 33 carried by a pair of spaced disks 34 fixed to the axle l. The teeth of the cog wheel 14L extend down into the spaces between the pins 33 so that when the axle 4 is revolved, when the platform 1 is pulled over a surface, the disk 34: will revolve carrying the pins 33 therewith and these pins successively engage the teeth of the cog wheel 14. The spindle 15 will be revolved carrying the crank shaft 19 therewith, reciprocating the bar 20, alternately rocking the figures 24, 25 in opposite directions upon their pivots, causing thereby the alternate striking of the anvil by the sledge 32, or if not pended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote the corresponding parts throughout the several views, Figure 1 is an elevation of a wheel toy in accordance with this invention looking at one side thereof, Fig. 2 is a like view. loo-king toward the other side thereof, Fig. 3 is a top plan, and Fig. 4 is an inverted plan.

Referring to the drawings by reference characters, 1 denotes a platform provided with longitudinally extending depending members 2, 3 and in which is journaled a rear axle 4:, connected to a king bolt 5 in the front axle 6. Wheels 7 are carried by the front and rear axle. Mounted upon the king bolt 5 and interposed between the front axle 6 and platform 1, is a fifth .wheel 8 to which is connected a shaft or handle 9. Attached to the fifth wheel 8 is a double tree 10, which is connected to the projecting ends 11 of the front axle 6 by the coupling members 12.

The platform the anvil the imitation of the object to move upon the anvil and in the path of the sledges.

Rotatably mounted upon the platform 1 1 at the rear thereof is prois a vertically disposed rotatable member 35 for operating said member and said element, an oscillatory member arranged at the forward end of said body, and means driven from said rotatable member for imparting an oscillatory movement of the member arranged at the forward end of the body.

3. A figure wheel toy comprising port-- able body, a stationary support provided with the representation of an anvil, a pair provided with a groove 36 through which travels an endless belt 37 the latter passing through a groove 38 provided in the periphery of the spindle 15. By this arrangement, when the spindle 15 is rotated, the belt 37 will be shifted causing thereby the rotation of the member 35. Mounted upon the member 35 is a miniature figure 39 carrying the representation of a bar or other object 40 which is adapted to be positioned upon the of oscillatory elements suspended from said anvil 22 after each complete revolution of support and each provided with the reprethe member 35 and be struck by one of the sentation of a sledge, a reciprocatory means sledges 32 as clearly shown in Fig. 2. connected to said elements for alternately The object 40 is alternately struck by the operating them in opposite directions, drivsledges 32. Mounted upon the forward end ing means for said reciprocatory means, said of the platform 1 is a seat 41 in which is mounted a miniature figure 42 to represent a driver.

driving means operated from a moving of'said body, with an object adapted to be positioned upon said anvil after each complete revolution of said member, and an operative connection between said member and said driving means for rotating said member.

4. A figure wheel toy comprising a portable body, a stationary support provided with the representation of an anvil, a pair of oscillatory elements suspended from said support and each provided with the representation of a sledge, a reciprocatory means connected to said elements for alternately operating them in opposite directions, driving means for said recipro-catoi'y means, said driving means operated from a moving part of said body, a rotatable member provided with an object adapted to be positioned upon said anvil after each complete revolution of said member, an operative connection between said member and said driving means for rotating said member, and an oscillatory element arranged at the forward end of said part The other end of the spring is attached to the back of the seat 41 and the function of said spring 44 is to maintain the body 42 upright. The body 42 is rocked on its pivot by a member 45 which is attached to the body 42 and pivoted as at 46 to a support 47. The member 45, which is termed an actuating member has its lower end attached to a link 48 connected to one end of a pivoted dog 49 which is engaged by a ratchet wheel 50 carried by the member 35. When the member 35 is rotated, the wheel 50 is carried therewith and has the teeth thereof intermittently engaged with the dog 49, the latter is oscillated reciprocating the link 48, oscillating the memer 45 upon its pivot and shifting the body 42 in an oscillatory manner upon its pivot 43. The shifting of the body 42 forwardly is had against the action of the spring 44.
